Unsure as to actual value, Kovels 11th edition has it @ $90.00......I paid $20.00., perfect condition. Has white gung inside, looks like the sickness but isn't. It comes out easy but I prefer to leave it..dunno but it might be orig contents residue.

Too bad Harry Pristis doesn't seem to be around anymore, he would be able to give you a good idea of the "when and where" on that one. My guess would be New York state, 1850s.

RE: your oldest bottle - 4/19/2006 7:28:07 PM    texasdigger Posts: 234 Joined: 1/6/2006 From: Roanoke Texas Status: offline This is the oldest bottle that I have dug. It is a cobalt swirl scent bottle with a ground pontil and sheared neck made between 1800-1840. It realy made my day when it came out of the groung because before this guy my oldest was about 1885-1890. Realy old bottles do not come out of the ground alot here in Texas. You guys all have some very sweet bottles. Brad Attachment (1) < Message edited by texasdigger -- 4/19/2006 7:29:00 PM > (in reply to NORG) Post #: 40
